Learning Social Responsibility – Acting Entrepreneurially and Sustainably
Social responsibility, extracurricular learning, and action pedagogy are central approaches to support students not only cognitively but also holistically. Many young people today want to make an active difference – just think of Fridays for Future.
In a globalized world, economic thinking and action are as important as sustainable engagement. Young people are needed who can combine social impulses with entrepreneurial action – real social entrepreneurs.
Student companies show how schools can take responsibility. But how can real opportunities for action be created with impact beyond the classroom?
Nyendo focuses on this – with practical formats that strengthen social, economic, and sustainable competencies.
